- Hi, what's up?
I'm Kim Petras.
I'm here at Buzzfeed,
and today I'm gonna tell you about my first times, sis.
(bouncy techno music)
First celebrity you found out was a fan of yours?
It was Paris Hilton,
and she was in my first music video ever.
And I was a nobody.
I had no songs out, nothing.
Nobody knew my music, nothing.
And she heard the song,
and she was like I love the song
and I want to be in the video.
That was incredible and I feel like
nobody could ever do anything bigger for me
in my whole entire life.
'Cause that was the start of everything.
And so meaningful and I love Paris so much.
And that really just made my life.
First time you woo-ah'd?
Woo-ah!
The first time I woo-ah'd
was randomly in the studio.
I was
searching for my producer tag.
And I was just yelling things out,
and then it just happened randomly one day.
It just appeared.
I don't know why it happened,
don't know why it showed up,
but it's really been the silver lining in my life.
I feel like it saved me.
I don't know.
It was just random,
like four or five years ago.
Woo-ah!
First musical inspiration.
Probably like Ariel from The Little Mermaid or something.
She is a main pop girl.
First cellphone you ever owned.
It was a purple Nokia,
and it was incredible.
There was this like snake game on it.
Right?
That was all I would do all day,
and like download ringtones.
Yeah, flex with my ringtones.
And then my parents would get mad at me
for spending so much money on ringtones.
I also remembered,
having the Crazy Frog ringtone.
I wanna collab with the Crazy Frog.
I wonder how much a collab is.
Let's link up in the studio.
First time you messed up on stage.
Oh my god, I was like five,
and my mom put on these dance shows,
my mom had a small dance studio in Germany.
And I was wearing a Scottish outfit,
and I was tap dancing.
And the second the lights went on,
I start crying and needed to get carried off the stage,
and I was like so scared.
I was like, this is my moment.
This is what I've been waiting for,
I'm gonna get discovered.
And then I just like cried,
and I got carried off stage,
so all my first times were usually mess ups.
That should be like the sum up of this video.
All my first times were just terrible.
Like terrible experiences,
and then I got better at them,
and then life,
you know gets easier.
You stress less.
Now I don't cry on stage anymore.
It's lit.
First date?
So the weird thing is that I never went
on a real first date with anybody ever.
Anybody I've ever dated,
was a friend of a friend,
or somebody from school,
or somebody I would meet from work,
or things like that.
Like I've never actually gone on a date with somebody,
you know, just like an official date.
Take me to Versace,
and like Louis,
and then to Chanel.
Buy me (bleep).
I don't have a dream first date to be honest.
Honestly, dates freak me out really hard.
A lot of people who love that kind of stuff.
First song you wrote?
Terrible, my first song I wrote was about
this dude in second grade
who didn't like me back.
Trash,
so next.
First meme of yourself you remember loving?
I think in general,
just when people started saying
the woo-ah (bleep).
That was hot.
Or when people started referencing
the woo-ah sensation.
So I went to Australia,
and obviously I had to meet a koala,
and hold one.
And the koala I held,
they switched it like right.
I was in line,
and there were all these super adorable koalas,
and there was that one really like scruffy looking,
like it was still really cute.
And I held it and I took a photo and I posted it,
and then there were all theses memes of it
looking like the old man who ate paint.
I'm like, to a lot of people,
I'm only the girl who held the koala
that looks like the man who ate paint.
Which is incredible,
I feel really honored.
A very iconic moment in my life.
First album you bought?
Spice World.
Also, first movie that I like dragged
my parents to go with me to.
Because they would take me to Disney movies,
and all of that.
Every movie I wanted to see,
but Spice World,
I had to drag them into the theater,
so Spice World!
First time you performed on TV?
Germany, it was in Germany on a breakfast show.
I was singing one of my old songs,
everything was German.
It was like 4 a.m. that I had to get up.
I messed up a lot of it,
forgot like all the choreo,
It was great.
But, I'm glad I got that over with,
because now I'm just so amazing at it,
you know?
It doesn't even bother me
that I had this one nervous moment,
because now I'm just incredible
at everything I do immediately.
First thing you notice in someone you're interested in?
Definitely humor is a big thing,
so I feel like I notice that.
When people just have like a positive attitude,
and just have fun.
'Cause some people have a really nervous energy,
and then I'm like negh.
It makes me nervous.
Like just when people have a good energy,
that's the first thing I think I notice.
Attitude and energy,
and the color of your aura!
You know?
I notice it right away.
I'm like (claps) lavender.
First big purchase?
My first MacBook Pro.
I was really saving up for that one.
I was a waitress in Germany,
and my MacBook Pro was the first thing
that I got for myself,
that I was really proud of.
And really started my career,
and my life as a song writer.
So yeah, I still have that first MacBook Pro,
and I still love it.
First time you realized you were famous?
I'm still waiting.
I can still walk down the street,
nobody notices who I am.
I can still live a normal life.
What the hell?
I'm still waiting!
I kind of feel like
I don't ever wanna feel famous either.
Like I just always wanna keep pushing.
Just like please stay the same person.
But yeah, I've had a bunch of pinch me moments,
especially recently.
Selling out my first tour,
Demi Lovato coming to my show,
meeting Marc Jacobs,
and fashion designers,
after shows, yeah.
Just like meeting,
meeting people is always crazy.
Like meeting people you've looked up to
for a long time is always amazing.
First kiss?
It was in Germany,
with my German boyfriend,
my first German boyfriend.
It was really like,
not hot at all.
I was just super nervous,
obviously I've wanted to kiss somebody,
and I've like rehearsed it a million times,
but it was just bad.
It wasn't good.
I've become a little bit better at it.
(snort laugh)
Is anybody's first kiss good?
I don't think so.
So, if your first kiss sucked,
you're gonna be all right.
You can still be a pop star.
(swoosh) So this was
my first times,
I hope you guys had fun.
Make sure you listen to my new record
that's out now, Clarity.
And thanks for having me.
This was really fun.
Woo-ah!
(giggles)
